Scripture Reading for October 27, 2024

Mark 10:46-52


46 Then they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd; Bartimae′us, a blind beggar, the son of Timae′us, was sitting along the way, by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many people rebuked him, telling him to be silent; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”


49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart; rise, he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak he leaped up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me receive my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you whole.” And immediately he received his sight and followed him in the way.


Job 42:1-6, 10-17


42 Then Job answered the Lord:


2 “I know that you can do all things,

and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

3 ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’

Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,

things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

4 ‘Hear, and I will speak;

I will question you, and you declare to me.’

5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

but now my eye sees you;

6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”


10 And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money and a gold ring. 12 The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys. 13 He also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch. 15 In all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job’s daughters; and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers. 16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children, and his children’s children, four generations. 17 And Job died, old and full of days.
